Vortex Razor

[Phillip Hathaway]

How do you all feel about the vortex razor vs razor HD?

Phillip, if you are comparing the the Generation II Razors (double hinge) that are a few years old there is no comparison between those & the Newer Razor HD models of today. Night & day difference! The new models are much clearer, brighter & have better resolution.

I would like to stay about 1000 for new binos. I do like the warranty with the vortex. I have a bushnell monocular that I do like but at distance it was giving off alot of heatwaves. I was just talking about the newer models. This is something that would be used mainly in the midwest for turkey and deer hunting. I was thinking the 10x42 or 12x50.

Street price on new model10x42's is well within your price range, I love mine. Try Elknut on here for a good price.

12x50 for checking out turkey? i find i cannot hold (by hand) a 12x very well.

hell, i love to put my 10x's on a tripod.

I have compared both side by side. The razor HD blows it out of the water...complete different league.

I did not compare the original Razor's but I did own them before selling to get the SLC's.

Well let me know I'm really on the fence between these and spending big money on swaro thanks!!!

I tried them side by side at my local army navy and for my eyes there was no way I would spend over double on swarovski's The razor hd's are that good.

I tried them side by side at my local army navy and for my eyes there was no way I would spend over couple on swarovski's The razor hd's are that good.

Same experience here. I compared it side by side with leica and swaro and saw no difference. Im super impressed with my vortex 10x42 hd's. Hard to beat that price+quality+warranty package!

Jeez. He bought viper HD's. Damn good. We didn't get to push it with low light but they were great. I want to see some razors now.

His were 10x 50's. Very good. Light too!
